The spring-shield is perforated for the passage of the pins, and is secured to the bar A by screws d d at either end. The holes through which the screws pass are elongated to allow the free operation of the spring-shield.

The throat-latch is provided with a huckle, so that it can be adjusted to the neeks of different-sized animals.
